Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch is currently one of the most loved racers in the Cup garage. But that wasn’t the case in most of his NASCAR career. Since his debut, Busch was known for his aggressive racing style and not pulling back from duals with the best on the track. Multiple run-ins he has had over the years with the legends of the sport earned the nickname Rowdy and also got him a large group of haters.

But Kyle Busch was able to change his villain persona with his move out of JGR as well as the by the efforts from his wife Samantha Busch. She changed him as a person and helped him to cool him down a lot. At the same time her effort on social media, where she shared wholesome moments of Busch with his family on social media and gave NASCAR fans the opportunity to see that family man side of the two times Cup champion.

Recently in his appearance on the Kenny Conversation, which is hosted by ex-NASCAR racer Kenny Wallace, Kyle Busch was asked if Sammatha made him a better person. He agreed with the theory and pointed out that with the 13 years they have spent together as husband and wife, helped him leave the Rowdy nickname behind.

Oh yeah, a 1000%, definitely. The Rowdy nickname didn't come along because I wasn't. I did have a little bit of that before her and then obviously we dated a little bit, we've been married for 13 years now, so it's been a hot minute.

Kyle Busch explains how his children changed him

Busch is blessed with two children’s, son Brexton and daughter Lennix. Having them changed his life as a whole as he no longer couldn’t afford to be the hothead on the track. The kids coming in made him calm down more and gave him a bigger sense on how to approach things.

I would say the kids thing kinda changes you a little bit too as well, more so, just I was still a hothead getting in to trouble doing crazy, stupid things with Samantha, being married to Samantha but when the kids came along, I think it kinda calmed down a lot more. I feel like that's probably the biggest sense.
Kyle Busch said.

Having a family will always change people as it gives them a new purpose as the same happened to Kyle Busch. It was good change for the champion driver as it not only made him a better racer but also helped him to be better person, while also helping him gather more fans.
